Contact Info

Sorry it's been a while, we're still waiting on internet/home phone at our house.  Once we do get it, it will be cheap to call the U.S., so we're looking forward to catching up with many of you!

We do have a military address now:
Doug and Heike Riddle
CMR 405 Box 1726
APO AE 09034

Sending anything to this address costs the same as it would to send it within the U.S.

We also have cell phones:
49-151-465-457-42 (Doug)
49-151-465-457-40 (Heike)

Samuel's favorite thing about Germany: Eis!

Praises:
--A house of our own and wonderful neighbors! We are really enjoying settling in here.
--Our stuff arrived just in time to get it organized!
--God has provided not only a welcoming, loving community in Baumholder, but He has provided many physical needs as well (including furniture).
--A warm welcoming community in Baumholder! (Have I said that already? It's worth mentioning twice at least!)
--Samuel seems to be well adjusted, although he does obviously miss his family back in the U.S.


A few prayer requests:
--Would really be helpful to have internet and a home phone. A lot of Doug's job requires good communication and things like health insurance are VERY difficult without a way to call the States. When we called again last week, we were told it could be another 4-6 weeks.  Heike is feeling isolated as well as we have one car and there isn't much she can do in our little village without driving somewhere.
--Jaymes, Heike's cat, is really sick. She is having liver problems. Would really appreciate prayer for her.
--AND of course, our baby and labor and delivery. Our due date is in ONE WEEK!

We love and miss you all and pray and think of you often!
